Biography
Sean MacClannough was the head of a small commoner family in Lanarkshire, and in 1280 he was one of the men who headed out to fight against King Edward the Longshanks when he invaded Scotland to put himself on the throne. His friend Malcolm Wallace was killed, but Sean's daughter Murron MacClannough and Malcolm's son William Wallace became friends when they were young, and by 1296 they had fallen in love and secretly married behind MacClannough's back. That year, Murron was killed by the English for attacking an English soldier that tried to rape her, and MacClannough reluctantly forgave William for secretly marrying her, and he joined his cause during his rebellion against the Kingdom of England. He fought in the Battle of Stirling and Battle of Falkirk under his son-in-law, and after William was executed by the English in 1305, MacClannough fought under King Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
